I am quite fascinated by the little tentacles you get on pea plants, so small and fragile, yet so strong.
For the Scavenge Challenge group, July #7 From Velcro to tow trucks, there are plenty of ways to "hook" your viewers' eyes.
One of the oldest working lighthouses in Europe at around 800years old. Built under the supervision of William Marshall, son in law of Strongbow and Aoife, it replaced an informal beacon which the monks there had set up and maintained previously. Lies across the estuary from Dunmore East and Passage East. The location is reputedly partly responsible for the expression 'by Hook or by Crook', Crooke is across the water near Passage East.
I feel pretty certain that this is John Greenland Hook who is depicted in a few previous images from this album.
One of six images from a single page, a page with some of the most 'snapshot' images in the album, and not up to the same standards as most others.

Erie Basin Park
Designer: Lee Weintraub Landscape Architecture
Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York
The park was part of the deal when IKEA wanted to build on the 22-acre Todd Shipyard property in Brooklyn's Red Hook. The park is a nearly one mile long waterfront esplanade. Four huge gantry cranes were incorporated into the design as well as other nautical artifacts. What was lost was a 700-foot-long dry dock, known as Graving Dock No. 1, filled in by Ikea for a parking lot. The dock has been outlined in Belgian-block paving stones and a small segment was preserved near the water’s edge.
The design called for 558 trees, wildflowers and grasses that are maintained by IKEA. IKEA also provides security for the park which is open from dawn until dusk. When you exit from the free (paid for by IKEA) water taxi service you walk through the park.
The big blue building in the background is the IKEA store.
These guys just love this... this... grool or whatever it is! This was taken at a nice little tucked away restaraunt called the Polish Place in Mt Tamborine, Queensland. When you travel to the Gold Coast you must take the time to get to this place. Refeshingly simple and relaxing.

My new crochet hooks - a gift from Dan ♥
I've been learning to crochet (slowly!) for a couple of weeks now, but up until this afternoon I've been using my mother's hooks. Dan bought me this set off evil-bay last week.
